Strategies for Civic Learning Across the Disciplines

Friday, May 10, 2019 - 12:30pm to Friday, May 10, 2019 - 4:00pm

In this half day workshop faculty members will be able to engage in a process to inspire course and curriculum development across disciplines with the aim of increasing civic learning. For a democracy to fully function, educational institutions and educators have a responsibility to uphold equity and guide their students through a process of values identification, discovery, action and evaluation in whatever academic discipline they choose. During the workshop we will evaluate individual and campus goals for civic learning, opportunities for faculty members to engage with community partners, and explore the potential challenges, and rewards of integrating civic education into the curriculum.
